No, the performance is too low. It must be 100x faster to be worth it.

No, I don't play games (Lier :) ).

Hey, I heard from 1 of the people that do HW reviews that AMD was considering implementing their very own RTX and looking at what people think of RTX.
I got 5 votes in 23 hours at LQ so I'm trying to reach a larger audience by posting here. Please vote only on 1 site.
If the RTX GPU has Linux support and some games to play would you purchase a GPU with RTX or RTX like HW?
Bear in mind that AFAIK current Nvidia GPU's do RTX by partially ray tracing the scene (shadows only), at a low resolution. Then use an AI to fill in the missing shadow pixels and finally use the AI to blow the image way up to 1080p at an astounding ~30fps !!!
My intention is to give AMD some idea of what you guys think.
Feel free to comment also!

Note to voters: Most of the answers that are "no..." become "yes..." if/when Nvidia and AMD do fix the stated problem. And I have listed the common ones.

It was brought to my attention that some people think that RTX in marketing jargon and/or that this poll is an attempt at forcing a technology upon companies.
Ray Tracing eXtensions is not jargon. It is a large portion of Nvidia's GPU's die space. You pay for it whether or not you use it.
As for forcing, that was *never* my intent. Nvidia has things, like physX and hairworks that AMD does not. Likewise the reverse is true for things like Vega's HBM being used as a last level cache.
